Alan Dee’s pick of next week’s TV

SATURDAY

This two-part documentary charts many of the most memorable moments from the Stones history, dating back to 1962 up to around 1980.

It’s not the first film to feature the band but this one is perhaps the most candid.

It features interviews with all the group’s surviving members, past and present, as well as some amazing footage of them in the studio and on stage.

You may think you know a lot about the Stones, but hearing it from the boys themselves may change your mind.

It’s certainly refreshing as well as enlightening to hear them speak so openly about their rise to fame and feelings about their shared past.

SUNDAY

Viewers should prepare to have their bones chilled by this tense tale. Look out for horror veteran David Warner among the supporting cast.

So, if you like gags about breaking wind, cuddling hamsters too hard and an obsession with cakes then this is the gig for you. One online reviewer claimed it was ‘one of the funniest DVDs she owned’ but now is a chance to make up your own mind. And if you hate it, just be thankful you didn’t have to fork out a tenner or more for the privilege of watching.
